WATCH: ‘Epic Twerk Fail’ video revealed as hoax perpetrated by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel

So, it turns out that the “epic twerk fail” video that had media outlets under its spell for a week — was completely staged by late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

With the help of stunt woman Daphne Avalon (who played the role of the twerking girl on fire), Kimmel shot the video and uploaded it to Youtube, where it got close to 9 million hits in less than a week.

On his show this past Monday night, Kimmel revealed the “director’s cut” of the video, along with the real identity of the video’s star.

Watch it.
